After the breakdown of the Copenhagen talks, which spiraled into a hard fought consensus to more or less keep doing the same thing, I think we can all agree that this image is a fairly accurate, if a bit conservative, representation of what the near future holds for us higher apes.

Finished this a while back, mostly it was an exercise in more controlled line-work and cleaner illustration. It started to have a very "Masters of the Universe" feel when I was working on it so I took that as license to use an unapologetic, hyper-saturated, 80's color scheme. It was good practice, but I dunno, this sorta thing isn't really me.
